[ruby-talk:444353] ruby -r debug runs through the entire program when started

Ruby version ruby 3.2.2 (2023-03-30 revision e51014f9c0) [x64-mingw-ucrt] when using 'ruby -r  debug programName.rb '  the debug runs through to the end without stopping no matter which ruby program is run.  I've not had the problem with previous versions of ruby. I would appreciate any information to fix the problem Thanks Tom Reilly
